Solar Hot Water and Photovoltaic Collectors

Site planning and installation are equally important. A solar collector consultant is required as panels must be located optimally, and systems engineered to maximize ROI and deliver power to specifications. We have experience with photovoltaic and evacuated tube solar collectors and a variety of connection details to help facilitate their attachment to your new or existing structure.

Green Roofs

Are truly green… they provide many benefits including protection of the roof membrane yielding longer material life, energy savings by decreasing roof surface temperatures and providing an extra insulating layer that is effective in summer and winter conditions and provides a protective environment that can be used to attract birds and butterflies. It is an innovative roofing alternative that saves energy and helps blend your living space with the natural environment. Moment Engineering + Design is experienced with many different types of green roof construction and can provide you the necessary details, structural evaluation and guidance necessary to help integrate into your project.

Insulated Concrete Form Construction

Growing in popularity, this construction method integrates insulation and structure, adding complexity to the engineering considerations and requiring the assistance of an insulated concrete form consultant. Concrete poured walls are formed by permanent insulated panels that provide continuous insulation on the exterior of the building envelope where it is most effective.

Structural Insulated Panels (SIP’s)

This is a technology that has been around since the 1950’s, but only recently has become more mainstream in the building industry. In this method, the structural members (usually jumbo sheets of high strength OSB) are used to form a sandwich panel with a rigid foam core that is incredibly strong and has superior insulating properties relative to conventional stud wall construction. We have intimate knowledge of the SIP manufacturing process and the proper design and installation, and detailing requirements of these systems.

Testimonials

It has been my pleasure working with Shawn and his team for the past couple of years on several residential projects ranging from whole house remodels, to new construction single and multi-family buildings. Building on tight lots in the densely populated cities is not for everyone, and Shawn has proven to be an extremely valuable asset to our company. Especially in situations where there is just no room to be wrong, Shawn has been and will continue to be a great source of overall knowledge and confidence that our company needs. I will also add that I have worked with many design professionals throughout my career in construction, and have not met anyone who matches Shawn's overall competence, flexibility, and responsiveness.
